I love seeing David Patten catching those long passes from Brees. Taking pressure off Colston creates opportunities for Colston. He’s a perfect number 2 receiver — and a solid number 1 as long as he doesn’t know he’s number 1.

Whatever Payton is doing is working. Bush looked good for the three quarters he was in the game. I’d like to see Pierre Thomas get a few more touches. The Giants just didn’t score enough to get him involved in kickoff returns.

I think we witnessed more of an awful 49ers offense instead of a shutdown defense. While SF’s scoring efforts are in complete disarray their defense is nothing to sneeze at, which means so much more for Captain Drew and company. They’re on a roll, got some momentum and can retake the top of the NFC South next week.

They should dispatch Jacksonville if they’re worth their stones. I know they haven’t defeated an AFC team since the lowly Browns, but COME ON!

One more win and we’ll be perfect in the second quarter of the season.

Btw, it was a beautiful day in Candlestick.
